Felted Gnome Mushroom Decorations Trio

A trio of gnome mushrooms from Wales. Hand-crafted from sheep’s wool and a dusting of magic! These felted gnome mushroom decorations are perfect to brighten up your home in the Autumn and Christmas season. I love them as Christmas tree decorations but they look great on display at any time of year. The mushrooms are presented in a little gift box so they would make a special gift for mushroom and nature lovers. The wool used to create these magical mushrooms comes from Mango and Mint. The Autumnal colours were created by adding some of Mango’s white fleece to a bubbling pan of Madder roots! And then a sprinkling of magical acid dyes was added to create different variations of colour. Mango also grew the wool for the mushroom stems. Mint’s job was to provide the hairy white fluff for the little white spots on the mushrooms – the finishing touch!

I love reading books and magical tales about witches and wizards as do my two children. I always find myself feeling very inspired in the Autumn to create magical decorations, mushrooms being one of my all-time favourite things to felt!

All my needle felted items are very solidly felted with carefully added details. They are crafted with a lot of love and care and not rushed so they take a surprising amount of time to make. That is not including the time spent shearing the sheep, washing the wool, carding, dyeing and spinning!

This listing is for the exact trio of mushrooms in the photos, the price is for all 3. They are presented in a simple card gift box – a perfect present for someone or perhaps for yourself! In some photos I have pictured these mushrooms with another trio set which is not included in the price but is available to buy on a separate listing.

The only part that is not wool from my flock is the jute twine that the mushrooms hang from.

Size – Tall red mushroom – Approx 13.5cm length (with string 30cm total length)

Size – Round orange/red mushroom – Approx 6cm length and 4cm mushroom top diameter (with string 20cm total length)

We keep a well-loved, high welfare flock of pet and rescue sheep on the Llyn Peninsular in North Wales. Our sheep are a part of the family and each is known by name. All our wool and makes are vegetarian-friendly as we do not breed or sell sheep for the meat market and our sheep live out their natural lives with us. I am a full-time mum and shepherdess. In my (none existent!) free time I make things from wool from the sheep in order to sustain them.
